Tonight on the Real Housewives of Vancouver (RHOV) Ronnie Negus played the role of the sage storyteller offering up parables to help her fellow housewives during their Toronto road trip.

She delivered one yarn that involved a native chief and I think his grandson and two wolves. Then we heard about Maximus the Roman gladiator.

Seriously, with what Ronnie and Mary Zilba got up to tonight I think What Ever Happened to Baby Jane would have been a way better fit.

Yes folks, the old school battlers Mary and Ronnie delivered another roller coaster ride through friendship on the hit Slice show.

With a two decade-long acquaintance that has had more ups and downs than the TSX, it’s clear this pair know a thing or two about pushing each others buttons.

Tonight on episode seven of season two of RHOV there was some optimism as the pair decided to meet for lunch and talk after a dust-up and a Ronnie meltdown last week.

“I just want to make this the last time we go through it,” said Mary laying down the early ground rules.

But civility was soon bussed away with the dirty dishes as the pair launched right into a laundry list of wrongs they thought the other had committed.

“You will never say ‘I screwed up, my bad I lied,’” said Ronnie to Mary. “Who do you think you are?”

Mary listens a bit, responds a bit, then puts on the table the note they both wrote out a few weeks back declaring that they would essentially act like adults and be supportive friends.

Some more “you’re a liar, you’re not well” talk and suddenly the emotional clouds part and faster than you can say life is better without Jody Claman at the table, the tide turns and Mary and Ronnie go from calling each other crazy liars to declaring their love.

“If I really, really hurt you I am deeply sorry. I want to put the swords down I can’t do it anymore,” said Mary.

Flash forward to the evening and Ronnie and Mary enter a restaurant together, gasp.

The pair’s entrance does not go unnoticed.

“It’s going to be another evening of ordering delicious food and not eating it. I call this the housewives diet,” said Amanda Hansen.

It didn’t take long for things to flare up as Jody set upon trying to figure out what the hell she was witnessing.

“It bothers me to see you all flatlined and sad,” said Jody to Ronnie after telling her that Mary was not someone she should be associating with.

Mary by the way was right across the table. Ahhh that Jody.

“I felt like I have fallen down the rabbit hole I am in this world with all these messed up characters,” said Mary referring to the other wonky women at the table.

But good news she has Ronnie back on her side, right?

Oh wait a minute…

Yes folks, less than 24 hours after their summit lunch Ronnie decides that Mary is not her true love.

All this comes out while Amanda Hansen, Ioulia Reynolds and Ronnie ride head off the Top Chef Canada garden party that Jody is being filmed at. Robin Reichman passed on the trip saying she was hungover. I think maybe she was just bored of the BS.

The garden party was held at a big lavish Toronto mansion. Jody was so overcome with excitement at the surroundings that she obviously forgot to not be racist on TV.

The women at the garden party, sans Jody (she was busy pretending to be a TV chef), dove right back into the Ronnie versus Mary pool.

“I don’t think there is anything wrong about sleeping on something and then changing your mind,” said Ronnie.

“Some of the most difficult decisions are which bridges to cross and which to break off.”

One thing Ioulia wanted to break off was the course of the conversation.

“Too be so obsessive about Mary is crazy,” said Ioulia.

Finally RHOV wrapped for another week as it always does — at a restaurant.

“I am really tired of going to public places and having arguments,” said Mary to Robin just before she gets in an argument with Amanda. This after it is made clear to Mary that Ronnie has put the brakes on their reformed BFFdom.

The night ends once again without dinner and with an upset Mary being the first to leave the restaurant.

Well I guess one good point is that Real Housewives diet Amanda talked about really seems to work.
